Open and Shut Case

“From utilitarian item to international object of desire: Louis Vuitton, Goyard, and Moynat, uniquely poised at the dawn of fashion and travel, seized a moment in history to transform their trunk making businesses into three of Paris’s most prestigious and enduring luxury brands. Louis Vuitton, now a global fashion giant, Goyard revered by the cognoscenti of chic, and Moynat, an illustrious name restored to its former glory in 2010 – all anticipated the revolution in women’s fashion and participated in the greatest evolution of the 19th and early 20th century: the advent of mass travel. The world begins its hectic pace and Paris is its beating heart.”
